This poll, fielded October 23-27, 1996, is part of a
continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on
the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues.
Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill
Clinton and his handling of the presidency and issues such as foreign
policy. Several questions asked how much respondents had been paying
attention to the presidential campaign, whether they were likely to
vote in the election for president, which candidate they would vote
for if the presidential and United States House of Representatives
elections were being held that day, whether they had favorable
opinions of the candidates and trusted them, and who they expected to
win. Respondents were asked to rate the condition of the national
economy, whether they thought trade with other countries, such as
Mexico and Canada, was good for the United States economy, whether
they approved of the way Bill Clinton was handling relations with
Cuba, Mexico, and Canada, and the importance of these countries to the
United States' interests. Several questions asked for respondents'
opinions on welfare, including whether most people on welfare were
immigrants or belonged to a specific ethnic group, whether respondents
approved of a recent law that changed the welfare system, and whether
eligibility for welfare should be limited. A series of questions asked
respondents whether trade restrictions were necessary, whether they
favored the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), whether it
should be expanded to other Latin American countries, and how many
foreign products respondents had purchased in the past few years.
Respondents were asked for their opinions on immigration to the United
States, including the effects of immigration on society, whether
immigrants should be eligible for entitlements programs and other
benefits, and the country of origin of current legal and illegal
immigrants. Information was also collected on whether respondents
considered themselves part of the conservative Christian movement, and
Hispanic respondents were asked about their country of birth and that
of their ancestors. Additional topics included abortion, affirmative
action, race and gender discrimination in job hiring practices, the
trade embargo against Cuba, and whether the government should be more
involved in people's lives and do more to solve national problems.
Demographic variables include sex, race, age, household income,
education level, political party affiliation, political philosophy,
voter participation history and registration status, employment
status, military service, whether respondents had any children under
the age of 18, household union membership, length of time living at
current residence, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or
rural).
